Computational Law and Blockchain Festival 2018

• What we'll do

The first annual Computational Law & Blockchain Festival brings together coders, designers, lawyers, policymakers, researchers, and students to co-create the future of law, legal practice, and policymaking. In the spirit of decentralisation, the entire event is being hosted by independent, self-organised nodes around the world and the Wellington node is one of these.

This global event will help participants learn about the broad field of computational law. Come along to learn about new technologies such as blockchains and smart-contracts (the legal and not-so smart variety of programmable contracts) along with legal blockchain use cases among other topics. A combination of educational sessions, hackathons, and policy discussions, join us to participate in the LEARN, HACK, and DISCUSS sessions. More details on the worldwide event can be found at the Legal Hackers Computational Law + Blockchain Festival (http://legalhackers.org/clbfest2018/) website. NZ specific information can be found on our website Legal Hackers NZ (https://legalhackers.nz/clbfest2018/). You may also register via Lil'Regie (https://clbfest2018.lilregie.com/) if you don't want to join the meet-up group.

Due to venue, numbers are limited to 40.
